About this business

Reservations are not accepted at this extremely popular place, and it is one reason you will see lines snaking around the block to get in here. The other reason is the food. Though some might decry the less than immaculate interior, there are plenty who proclaim House of Nanking as the best Chinese food in San Francisco, if not California. The Imperial Rolls are extraordinary, full of first-rate fresh vegetables and succulent BBQ pork in a crispy, non-greasy wrapper. Hot and sour chicken or beef in garlic sauce and tofu with... read more

The famous Nanking Sesame Chicken is to die for! I also enjoyed the fried shrimp packets with peanut sauce - sooooo delicious!

Favorite restaurant in San Francisco! Was there several times ago over 20 years ago and just went again this past weekend. It was as wonderful as I remembered. Every time I'm in the city..... I will always visit this amazing restaurant! It's a MUST go to! ️Xo

Good food but very terrible service. Never coming back unfortunately. 

Business response:

We're so upset to hear our service let you down, Terry! Of course we put service at the top of our list when it comes to priorities, so it's a surprise as well. We'd love another chance to prove we can take care of you; please keep us in mind the next time you're out to eat.

Food was good but service was probably the worst I've encountered. Where am from (NYC) you're practically catered to. 

Business response:

Nadia, I'm thrilled that you loved our food, but it's such a shame to hear our service put you off. We pride ourselves on offering an authentic Chinese experience, so our service is understandably different than many restaurants. That said, we'd never want you to remember us in a negative way. Please know that we'll take your feedback to heart and that we hope to see you on your next visit to California!

Was recommended to us by our taxi driver. We knew it must have been good when we saw the line outside waiting to get in. Asked the waiter how long the wait was and got told 40mins, hubby went to look for somewhere else to eat as we don't usually line up for a restaurant. After 6 minutes we were seated. The owner served us and I asked him what he recommended (we had 2 kids). He asked us what we liked - chicken, beef or pork and brought out a variety of food for us. Food was delicious. Kids loved it all, our son was particular... read more
